LV 72 was built in 1903 by John Crown & Sons of Sunderland for Trinity House. Her hull is made of iron and, during World War 2, she was involved in the D Day landings. She was sold out of service in 1973 to Steel Supply Co., Neath for scrapping. When sold she was the oldest vessel in the Trinity House fleet. She was later considered for conversion to a floating night club but the project did not go ahead. She is now on a mud berth on the River Neath in poor condition.

Neath Abbey Swing Bridge The Rhondda and Swansea Bay Railway Company opened its line in 1885, but could extend the line into Swansea until this swing bridge was completed in 1894. I am grateful to the owner of Derwent Construction and his plant operator Martin for their assistance in getting this image. This is one of over 1,450 movable bridges in the British Isles that I have identified for my historical website. www.movablebridges.org.uk
